The problem
The leveling jack hydraulic hose lines are routed close to the engine exhaust manifold. This can cause the hose to melt and result in a hydraulic fluid leak onto the exhaust manifold.
The risk
Hydraulic fluid may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold and ignite causing a fire. Also, loss of leveling jack hydraulic fluid would make it impossible to raise or lower the leveling jacks.
The fix
Dealers will replace and relocate the affected hydraulic line.
